Avila Beach had thin high clouds with the sun coming and going, and hardly anyone else on the beach today. The temperature was 60° and there was no wind so it was comfortable and the water was glassy. The surf was 2 to 3 foot and easy.
I spoke to Tom Lorish. He had swum around Avila Rock and said that the water was really beautiful out there, and still cold. .
Stephanie Popp joined me. Due to a football size hole in her wetsuit her last swim was short. She has a new, complete, wetsuit now and was planning on staying in longer.
Niel and Stephanie at the 4th buoy on the west side.
We swam #1 to #4 and back on the west side. Stephanie went in and I did a triangle. I'd estimate the water temperature as 49 to 50°. The NOAA buoys off of Diablo Canyon and Santa Maria are recording water temps of 55 to 56 so the persistent offshore wind in Avila is keeping our swimming clean and cold.
I'll swim Tuesday and Thursday at 7. Holiday stuff is happening so I may swim even earlier on Saturday.
